Help with this website |
This part of the National Archives of Scotland (NAS) website offers
advice on how to get the most out of the site. The site has been designed
to be accessible by as wide a range of web browsers and computers
as possible and a wide variety of people who use the NAS and its website.
Some parts of the site, such as the online catalogue and online school
resources, are more complicated and may cause problems, but in cases
like these we try to include alternative ways to get access to the
information. There are different ways to navigate through the site,
to provide options for first time visitors and to make it easy for
regular visitors to reach popular parts of the site quickly. You can
read more about how the
site has been designed with accessibility and ease-of-navigation
in mind. If you have any problems using the site let us know using
our feedback
form.
Help with navigation in the site
If you have trouble finding something in the site, there are a number
of alternatives open to you:
- browse the A-Z index
- a list of key information
- use the site search
- a way of searching html pages in the site and advice about other
indexes and catalogues
- look at the quick links on the Home
page
- use the top navigation structure - are you a researcher (Doing
Research), an owner of records or record professional (Record
Keeping), or someone engaged in education as a teacher or learner
(Learning)
- consider whether you are in the right website by finding out
more about the
NAS - many visitors come to the NAS (and its website) when the
information they seek is held
elsewhere.
The site has been designed to meet government guidelines on accessibility,
and there are things you can do at home to change the way pages
look and function.
Changing the font size
Almost all text on the site is relative: that is, text size is displayed
in sizes which are a percentage of you browser's default setting.
You can make the font sizes bigger or smaller by using the font size
commands on your Web browser.
Printing pages
Most pages have been designed to make printing easy, by using the
print icon at the top left hand corner of this page or by using the
printing commands on your web browser. Some information in the site
(such as lengthy documents, or items where some degree of printing
control is required) is provided in pdf format, which requires your
computer to have Acrobat Reader installed. This is available free
from Adobe.
Icons, symbols and images used on the site
All icons, and other graphics files used on this site should have
alternative text tags. The use of icons and decorative images has
been kept to a minimum to maximise download speed and accessibility
to sight impaired users.
